Chapter 2. Getting Started


To get started using the server, download the Red Hat Data Grid Server distribution, unpack it to a local directory and launch it using the bin/standalone.sh or bin/standalone.bat scripts depending on your platform. This will start a single-node server using the standalone/configuration/standalone.xml configuration file, with four endpoints, one for each of the supported protocols. These endpoints allow access to all of the caches configured in the Red Hat Data Grid subsystem (apart from the Memcached endpoint which, because of the protocol’s design, only allows access to a single cache).
